If you didn't know already Elzybells stamps are the latest rage all over the blogosphere and Splitcoast - and I've jumped on the bandwagon!
Right now all I own is this Mouse Bauble stamp, the Mistletoe Mouse stamp and a couple of sentiments. However I just ordered some more and they should hopefully get here next week!
For this card I stamped the image onto white card stock then colored it in with Copic Markers and punched it out with my Marvy Mega Circle punch.
You can't really tell in this picture - but I used a clear Sakura gel pen on the ornament to make it shiny and "realistic". I also used my Spica Glitter pens on the branches and the ornament hanger.
The scalloped mat was made with my Marvy Giga Scalloped Circle punch.
The velvet ric rac is from May Arts (and oh is it EVER gorgeous!! You have to see it in real life and be able to feel it to know how soft it is...)
The card base itself is one of the new A Muse 4-band notecards (they're sized 3.5x5") in the Kitchen Collection pattern.
On the inside of the card I stamped the Twas Night sentiment.
I had fun with this card (another A Muse 4-band notecard - this time from the Madeira Collection).
I used my 1 3/8" circle punch to punch a hole through the note card. The scalloped "frame" was made by FIRST punching a 1 3/8" circle out of Ruby Red (Stampin' Up!) card stock then centering the SU! Scalloped Circle punch over it and punching it out - leaving me with this little frame which I adhered to the card over the hole.
I just folded up the bottom then used my 3/16" Corner Rounder Punch to scallop the edge and tied on some American Crafts ribbon.
Mistletoe Mouse and the Happy Kiss-mas sentiment were stamped on the inside of the card and I colored him in with my Copic markers.
The best thing about these cards is that they were SO quick and easy to make!! Edited to Add: I did them both in under an hour while on the phone with a friend LOL!
